KMC DLC 12 Speed Chain for Cyclists

The X12-SL DLC chain is one of the lightest in its class, making it the PRO's choice. Its key characteristics include a weight of just 272g for 126 links, making it amongst the lightest chains in its category. Unlike many others, the X12-SL DLC features a Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) that reduces abrasive wear. This coating gives the chain a surface hardness higher than most, ensuring long-term functionality and superior wear resistance.

The chain's Triple X Durability further contributes to its unmatched longevity. At 126 links, the X12-SL DLC excels in mud-shedding properties, making it equally well-suited for 29" mountain bikes and road applications. This 12-speed chain is compatible with all Campagnolo, Shimano and SRAM MTB groupsets, although it does not work with SRAM road components due to a difference in pin length.

The DLC coating is applied to both the inner and outer plates, complemented by chamfered links for enhanced rigidity and power transfer. With a weight of just 238g per 110 links, the X12-SL DLC is an incredibly lightweight yet durable option. Its 5.5mm pin length and inclusion of a 12x Missing Link further attest to its premium quality.

Designed to be compatible with mid-motor e-bikes, the X12-SL DLC features a unique coating that provides reduced abrasive wear and ultra-long life. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a high-performance, long-lasting chain for their high-powered electric bicycles.

In summary, the X12-SL DLC is a top-of-the-line chain that combines exceptional lightweight, unparalleled durability, and advanced DLC technology to deliver an unmatched riding experience for discerning cyclists. Whether tackling rugged mountain trails or navigating urban streets, this chain is the PRO's choice for its class-leading performance and reliability.
